Rest 1-3mins between sets. Definitely screaming over those chin-ups after all that other arm work. Uuuuuuugggghhhhhhhh! Have realized I am almost exclusively lifting heavy things now. Caaan't say I mind what it's doin' for me, though! ;-)

I think it's getting weird how my bench is still progressing as fast as my squat - I have an official "novice" level on bench, but am 60 lb from "novice" level on squat. I squat every time, too. All my life, I've had "bench your weight" as a basic strength guide - I think it came from a high school coach - and I was never anywhere near it until now. I might bench my weight before christmas, how weird is that.

EXHAUSTED! I don't know how some of you go low-carb all the time and STILL lift the heavy stuff and STILL have the same output. I just ate a little bit of pumpkin for the first time following this workout and it was surprisingly very very sweet. I can't believe they add sugar to the canned stuff most of the time. They're CRAZY!

I really like the primal blueprint fitness routine because I move from one exercise to the next, but I have leaned out pretty well so far. Any more and I will be too skinny. I think I am going to move to a starting strength routine this week and work on building muscle, though I am pleased with the way my arms look just from the primal fitness routine.

Tonight I teach the Karate Fitness class at our dojo. I'm going to give them a scaled-down variation of the Wow 500 and let them do 300 reps of whatever bodyweight exercise they want. I'll probably do it with them. Then I teach an hour of Kickboxing. Thursdays always kick my butt!

I'm in the middle of a back-off week, and it's driving me crazy! I'm feeling the strain in my shoulders, quads, and hams, though, so I clearly need the rest. Just farm work and some stretching/yoga today, then it's back to heavy lifting tomorrow. Hooray!
